Where have all the Leaders Gone? During this Financial crisis?
Evertime Bush speaks chaos reins! Congress? forget about it, their not working now. Paulson? He just got handed the most power by his position ever and it didn't work. SOMEONE needs to speak precisley, succinctly in a calm voice for all to hear

WSJ Opinion by Volker at link, here is some of it
Today, the financial crisis has reached a critical point. The sharp decline in the stock market and its volatility dramatically make the point. More important if less visible, the flow of credit through the banking system and the financial markets is seriously impaired -- even in part frozen.

For months, the real economy, apart from housing, had not been much affected by the developing crisis. Now, a full-scale recession appears unavoidable. Important state and local governments face deficits they may be unable to finance. Recessionary forces are apparent in other important countries and exchange rates are unstable.

Those are facts.
